The sentences that describe the fall line of Georgia are the following. Several cities developed along this area, early commercial centers were located here, it is located at the last navigable part of certain rivers, and it is the point where rivers drop down from Piedmont.

We are talking about an important region in the state of Georgia that divides the Piedmont region from the Coastal Plains. Because Piedmont is an elevated land, rivers run fast from this region down the plains. Along the fall line, many important cities were established and developed because the river allows navigation. This meant the transportation of people and goods for trade. We are talking about the cities of Macon, Augusta, and Columbus.
